BUT WHAT ABOUT THE EMPATHY!!!

Did you see him shed a tear?! Did he hug someone?! Did he ask an elderly person if they were okay?! DID HE HOLD A BABY?!

Jeff Zeloney is certainly eating crow now.

Lol, did some doofus say Trump lacks empathy? Oh leftists...

Robtard
This isn't being done due to humanitarian reasons, it's just PR stunt due low approval ratings. Otherwise it would have been done on the down-low. Any blind person can see that.

Either way, doesn't matter if the money goes to a good cause. So good job, Trump thumb up

Why would you speak out of turn without researching the facts. SHS was asked at todays press breifing is he had plans to. She informed the pubic he was donating $1,000,000. So unless you think SHS just made Trump spend $1m and spoke for him, you are drastically mistaken on this one.

I didn't comment on Sanders at all, nor did I say she made Trump do it. His poll numbers and news on how poorly he's handling this made him do it.

It's always entertaining to see how they literally can't help themselves lol. No matter what Trump says or does they will find some way to go at him. Even when giving praise it is like they feel they need to offset that praise by taking some sort of shot at him.

I didnt say you said she made him do it. Re read what I said. He didnt offer up the info. It was asked. Stop playing games with me.

We can fight about this all day. Or instead we can say glad they are getting $1m more.

How on earth is he handling this poorly. I mean come the fck on man. Hes on deck, people are being rescued.

I read:

"He would like to join in the efforts that a lot of people we have seen across the country do," -snip

"He actually asked that I check with the folks in this room since you are very good at research and have been doing a lot of reporting into the groups and organizations that are best and most effective in helping and providing aid, and he'd like some suggestions from the folks here and I'd be happy to take those," she said during the daily press briefing. -snip

So I'm not playing games with you, this is a PR stunt though as his ratings are shit. It's blatantly obvious (to me).

Who's fighting? My first post I said who cares as long as the money goes to help people and then I said "good job Trump".

You're actually more giving than Trump, as $100.00 while not a large sum of money, is still more of your overall monetary worth than Trump giving a million when he's claimed to be worth over 10billion. So good job, Sable thumb up

Though Trump has donated the money yet, so I wouldn't count those chicks just yet. Look at the Trump charity scandal.

Yet he didn't tell anyone about it before deciding to do so or after until a reporter decided to ask a roundabout smug way to get to the question?

Proof or verification of these claims Trump was showboating this or announced this prior to todays WH Press Briefing in which Halley Jackson asked SHS if Trump was going to donate?

And if not, should she have lied to the reporter asking the question?

Lol, liberals have gone crazy over Trump. It is why it is funny they cannot open up their mouths without taking a shot at him, even if he does something they like.

Someone *asked* them about if he was donating, and on more than one occasion. Why did they ask? I'm guessing they thought it would be some type of "gotcha" question. But no, Trump said he will donate and hilariously Sarah Huck Sanders told the press he wants their help in choosing where to donate lol.

The best part is the same people who get on others for not reading articles...clearly didn't read what happened, as they seemed to think Trump just came out bragging about this. Now if the question had been asked and Trump or his admin refused to answer it? Oh lordy would they throw a fit. If the question had been asked and the answer had been "no" oh lordy would they throw a fit. The answers they were given did not meet the criteria they wanted, so they need to toss in an insult before complimenting him.

It'd be one thing if it was just sad internet trolls, but nope...places like the AP are doing it too lol. They legitimately can't say something nice about Trump or praise him, without at first having to establish their anti-Trump street cred. How insecure they must be, but oh well...I know pointing this out will trigger them.

Ok, everyone knows I hate Trump. I do not like or trust the man because his mannerisms and attitude rub me the wrong way for a head of state. That being said, him personally donating a million dollars is nothing to squeal over. He's not known to be casually generous, so this is a big step for him.

The other side of the argument is simply this: I do not care one way or the other if this is a PR stunt or not. It's not important. What is important is that the money reaches those who need it most. If it does so, then all is well. If it were a PR stunt, then it will be forgotten in time. If it wasn't, well then my faith in Trump's ability to feel empathy went up a notch or two, nothing major.

What frustrates me here in this thread right now, is that instead of focusing on the victims of the Hurricane, and how the money can help, people tend to turn these threads into more and more political infighting. Over essentially anything, but more and more over some of THE least important things... It makes me wonder if Sable wasn't right in his joke last month that another civil war may explode because of infighting over political opinions.

It takes a special level of Trump hate to roast the dude for donating a million dollars to a recovery effort after a devastating tragedy.

stannis would say "a good act does not wash out the bad. nor a bad act the good. each should have it's own reward.", but I'm not stannis so yes i will snicker at trump's weak gesture.

Oh I agree the good doesn't wash away the bad, which is why I'm still critical of Trump and think he's a bad president. But when he does something genuinely positive he shouldn't be given shit for it.

But yep, the thread should have been "it is great that he did this" and nothing else. We do have a Trump thread where folk can whine about him and point out his flaws.

IMO it is more nuanced than outright calling him an a-hole. Like I said, it is just more this weird habit where you cannot praise Trump outright. You need to put in something. It can be a subtle shot, it can be plain as day, but something....something to feed the leftist beast.

Think about any article you have read in defense of Trump by a leftist. Or rather, in defense of maybe one certain thing about him or a certain event with him where he was treated unfairly. Almost always either in the beginning or right at the end they need to get their "Trump is bad" type stuff in. They could have written 100 articles in the past that make you know they hate Trump, but even in the one article praising him they will need to remind you of all the things they hate lol.

I am just mystified by the hatred he brings out in people. It is not the normal hatred, it is the hatred that comes with having your every belief called into question and knowing deep down there is kind of a good reason for it to be called into question.

I've donated $500 of my personal money.

I'm curious how much Obama and the Clintons have donated. Maybe the Clintons could tap into their Haiti fund lol.

We also know Obama got that sweet sweet book deal.

CNN did cover it, but I wonder if Bash realizes the tweet he is quoting came after the donation had already been announced due to the questions of the media lol.

Are dollars any different from one account or another?

Robtard
Really? If it comes out of the Trump Foundation, it's not Trump's "personal money", it's money other people donated

Don't know if this is true, but if so, the ravens better start looking out cos they'll be targetted after all the crows get eaten

Sable
I can't help but see the hypocritical stance here.

Trump foundation donates money from donated money. Badthumb up

Clinton foundation donates money from donated money . Goodthumb up

So, are you just going to ignore the evidence you gave to show this was a publicity stunt doesn't actually show it?

Robtard
If that's how you need to flip it, cool. But the narrative pushed down throats since page one was that is was Trump's "personal money". Go look back if you don't recall

Funny thing is the article doesn't actually show anyone confirming the money is coming from the Trump Foundation lol.

Sable
I care about the people getting money. I don't care who's pocket it came from.

I didn't flip it. It's the same thing. The Clinton foundation takes money from Saudi Arabia and Qatar then uses it for whatever.

So they take dirty money and try and wash off some of the filth by helping others. While taking a cut for themselves.

But where does it say this is or has actually happened in regards to Trump?

Robtard
Why I said 'if true', comment, Sarah couldn't directly support her previous claim, so we'll have to see.

But honestly, it probably is at this point.

I actually decided to go look back in the thread. Would it surprise you to know that the word "personal" was used only a few times, and not to push a narrative? Uses I found:

-Imp says he donated $500 of his personal money
-Fly asks what Obama personally donated
-Darkstorm mentions Trump personally donating, but doesn't push that as a narrative.

You say it was pushed since "page one". Nothing I see on page one supports this. Could you quote for me where on page one the narrative about personal money begins to be shoved down our throats? Thanks in advance.

Oh my, you're confused and lost again...

This is because you're known to not read the stories posted. The OP story has Sarah saying this would be Trump's "personal" money. This was the basis for the conservations that followed, sport

So do more flips, it's funny

Lol but you said the narrative was being pushed down our throats. How is that an example of it being pushed down our throats? Sarah saying it...is shoving it down our throats?

Did you want a redo?

But why does it matter? I know you support what the CGI does. Why is it ok what they do. But this hypothetical situation of Trump's is bad.

Also where the fck is CGI on all this. They haven't helped a single disaster here in their history.

From your article:

"He would like to join in the efforts that a lot of people we have seen across the country do," press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters at the White House, saying the funds would come from the President's "personal money."

I can't figure out how this is something being shoved down our throats lol. She certainly says personal, but I don't see that as being shoved down our throats, and nobody else in the thread brings it up.

Sable
This is where the CGI is. They give links to where to help. While offering no help themselves. Hahahaha

She is charging $2400 for people to meet her. Maybe she plans to donate the proceeds to helping Harvey victims.

Surtur
^^ In fact I actually have the perfect place for her to donate to:

'Emergency' abortion fund established for Hurricane Harvey survivors

Can't properly defend Trump, drag out "But Clinton!"

That tells everyone you've shit the bed and that you're done here smile

Sable
What defense are you referring to, you can't make a hypothetical argument based on assumption, hyperbole and then expect me or anyone else to have to defend a fictional situation.

What are you exactly arguing here that needs to be defending by myself.

A hypothetical argument will get a factual response, show me where he donated money from the foundation. And if true, how is it any different then what CGI does. And why dont you slam CGI for doing the very same thing?

We have some real sore buttholes here right now. Better to not even ask. Remember like Sin said, if you gave money, you are shameful for saying you did so. But if you didn't give money and didn't say anything, you are right as rain.

Robtard
"Sarah Sanders told reporters at the White House, saying the funds would come from the President's "personal money."

Anyone can see that the pro-Trump arguments in here where based on that narrative being true, "personal money". So let's hope it turns out to be true.

Sable
I don't think I said where he was giving it from his personal fortune or his foundation. I just posted a link saying he was giving $1,000,000. Even in my OP I said he pledged $1,000,000. I made no assumptions where or how it was happening. I dont think it matters, the dollars matter, not what account he uses. I doubt the people on the ground care either.

Sable
Also, says right here he can't use his foundation.

Robtard
Probably when you said people can't criticize Trump unless they've personally given themselves. So can we stop playing games, it's clear the narrative was that Trump was doing this at the cost of his owm personal finances.

Sable
But it says right here he can't use the foundation. So this ends the false narrative that he is.

https://twitter.com/Fahrenthold/status/903788346664787968

Robtard
Then let's hope he writes that personal check, as was initially pushed thumb up

Sable
But it won't matter if he does, the damage has already been done. The people who said he was doing this as a PR stunt already poisoned the well. I guess congratulations are in order for those who pushed that narrative.

Sable
Just to go over the time line.

First attempt at poisoning the well.

Facts: MSNBC Halley Jackson asked SHS would Trump donate., she did not give up voluntarrily this info.

Immediate liberal response: He's doing this for PR, he was boasting about it, and bragging about it.

Fact: Trump has never said anything about it personally, nor gave up the info until asked.

Second attempt at poisoning the well.

CNN tries to say he's using the foundation.

Fact: WP Writer David Farentold and Trump financial expert on his charitable giving says he can't.

You still haven't actually explained how this narrative was pushed in this thread since page one. All we have is a link to a story where the money being personal money is mentioned a total of one time by SHS.

Are we now saying that mentioning something one time equates to shoving a narrative down peoples throats? I just want to be clear, but feel free to get triggered over this.

On top of that, their stupidity is mind boggling when it comes to excuses used as to why it is a PR stunt. One of Trumps kid dared mention it...after it had already been talked about due to the media asking multiple times lol.

Maybe we should just put this type of thing behind us and get back to discussing important issues, like THE EVILNESS OF Mrs. Trump wearing Stiletto Pumps while visiting Houston! MY GAWD THE NERVE OF DAT BEEEYOUTUCFH!!!!!!!!!!

Anything his sons do in response to what the media did, has done, or is currently doing is treated as "Trumps kid did it first." Facts be damned.

Facts should matter all the time, but with some on the left they do not. For instance, right now the facts do not matter. But when Trump makes a comment about the size of the crowd at his inauguration...suddenly details matter.

On the other hand it seems some on the left are also at least realizing that this whole business of "one set of rules for us, another for everyone else" will no longer be tolerated. So there is some silver lining to all this.
